You were allowed to marry into No. 76 family, and you were promoted to director?

Chapter 320 Shameless

"You insisted on coming last night, but you refused. What, you just don't like me being on top?"

Zhao Xuan gave an awkward laugh:

"How about this tonight?"

Dao Yan raised her hand and gently patted Zhao Xuan's forehead, clearly annoyed.

"Dream on. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Alright, I have to go now. You should rest and recover at home."

"I might be back a little late today. If you're hungry, have some dumplings first. I just made them; they're in the kitchen."

Zhao Xuan knew that Dao Yan got up at around 6 a.m., but he didn't expect that Dao Yan got up so early to make dumplings.

"Okay! But my injury definitely won't heal in three or five days, and I'll have to trouble my dear wife afterwards."

Dao Yan gave a light snort, wrinkled her delicate nose, picked up her bag, and left the bedroom.

Seeing this, Zhao Xuan sighed. He had mentioned his injuries several times, which was a clear enough hint. He figured Dao Yan would go easy on him when they met up.

Xiaoya, Xiaoya, your brother-in-law is so sorry!
Not long after Dao Yan left home, Zhao Xuan went to the kitchen to cook dumplings. After eating his fill, he packed up the remaining dumplings, grabbed the lunchbox, and went out.

Captain Ono, who was at the entrance of the apartment complex, saw Zhao Xuan drive away again and quickly called the Special Higher Police to report the situation to Aizawa Keiko.

This time, however, following orders from Aizawa Keiko, a group of military police officers were sent to follow Zhao Xuan. They saw Zhao Xuan drive to the Special Higher Police and returned while cursing.

As soon as Zhao Xuan parked his car after entering the compound, Dao Ya was already standing in front of the car window and knocking on the glass.

Zhao Xuan smiled upon seeing this. Sure enough, his sister-in-law and he were perfectly in sync.

Yesterday, he only asked Dao Ya to wait for him on Wusong Road, and Dao Ya came directly to the Special Higher Police Department, perfectly matching Zhao Xuan's route plan.

"Brother-in-law, I knew you'd come here. How are you planning to fool Aizawa Keiko today?"

After getting out of the car, Zhao Xuan tossed the lunchbox to Dao Ya:
"Your sister made these dumplings early this morning and brought them to you."

"Thank you, brother-in-law!"

Dao Ya beamed with joy, grabbed her lunchbox, and headed straight for the Special Higher Police Department's cafeteria. How could she eat dumplings without vinegar?

Anyway, Daoya was already very familiar with the Special Higher Police's cafeteria; everyone there, from the chefs to the cleaners, knew her.

Seeing this, Zhao Xuan smiled and headed straight for Lan Zehui's office.

Inside the section chief's office.

Not long after Aizawa Keiko received Captain Ono's call, Zhao Xuan actually came to her place.

"Ah Xuan, your injury hasn't healed yet. You should rest at home now. There's no need to rush about work."

Zhao Xuan stepped forward and stood in front of Lan Zehui's desk, saying:
“Huizi, I made an appointment with Ayan to go to the International Cemetery today. The New Year has passed, but I haven’t gone to sweep the graves yet. Today, Ayan has time, and Xiaoya is also free, so we should make up for it.”

After listening, Aizawa Keiko nodded:

"Indeed, so why did you come to see me?"

Is she planning to take me along? Should I say yes or no?

This is what Huizi was thinking.

Seeing that Aizawa Keiko's face suddenly turned red, even without dialysis mode activated, Zhao Xuan could roughly guess what she was thinking.

"Xiaoya hasn't been home for the past two days. I was originally going to wait for her to come back before I set off, but she insisted on waiting for me at the Special Higher Police Department, so I came over. Since I'm here, I thought I'd come and see you."

"By the way, I was also wondering if the Special Higher Police have been doing anything else lately besides the occasional radio truck patrols? If so, I'll come to work tomorrow."

Hearing this, Lan Zehuizi realized she had misunderstood. Although she was a little disappointed, the fact that Zhao Xuan had come to see her made her feel much better.

"Nothing else, Ah Xuan. Just rest well. Once you're fully healed, I'll ask you to come back to work, even if you don't want to."

"By the way, you said Xiaoya came, where is she?"

"It's our Special Higher Police Section's canteen!"

Aizawa Keiko laughed:

"This gluttonous girl, is the cafeteria breakfast really that good? I didn't think it was."

"You know Xiaoya, she'll enjoy anything as long as it's edible."

Just after saying that, Dao Ya pouted and pushed the door open and walked in:
"Brother-in-law, I heard you talking badly about me as soon as I stepped out the door. Sister Huizi, aren't you going to do something about him?!"

Aizawa Keiko quickly stepped forward, put her arm around Toa's shoulder, and laughed:

"Alright, Ah Xuan was just joking. You actually took it seriously. But this weekend, the Military Police Headquarters is organizing a dinner party. There'll be lots of delicious food. I'll pick you up and we can go have some fun."

"Thank you, Sister Huizi! You must come pick me up then!"

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Lan Zehui, Zhao Xuan and Dao Ya left.

Of course, at this point, Zhao Xuan really did take Dao Ya to the International Cemetery.

It's time to officially let Dao Ya take over the codename "Tiger Girl" from Li Mingzhu!

Shanghai, western section of Nanjing Road, International Cemetery.

When Zhao Xuan and Dao Ya arrived, it was 11:00 AM.

After paying their respects to their parents, Zhao Xuan and Dao Ya walked in unison to the unmarked tombstones in the row below Zhao Xuan's parents.

Dao Ya placed the bouquet of white chrysanthemums she was holding in front of the tombstone, squatted down, her face stubborn but her gaze firm, and spoke in a very gentle tone:

"Sister Mingzhu, how have you been?"

"Don't worry, with me by your brother-in-law's side, I'll definitely be able to protect him. I'll carry the code name Tiger Girl with me and witness the day of victory together."

After speaking, Dao Ya turned around and looked at Zhao Xuan, who was standing silently in front of the tombstone.

Dao Ya slowly got up and walked towards the door. She knew that her brother-in-law still had a lot to say to Mingzhu.

After Dao Ya left, Zhao Xuan took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag.

The smoke he exhaled slowly dissipated in the wind. Only then did Zhao Xuan squat down and clear away the weeds around Hu Niu's tombstone, leaving only a dandelion seedling.

"Many times I think, how wonderful it would be if you were still alive."

"I brought Xiaoya to see you today. You heard it too. That's right, she's now fully qualified to take over the nickname 'Tiger Girl.' You must be very happy that someone can help you fulfill your unfinished wish."

"You can rest assured and entrust the code name Tiger Girl to her. I will send you home the day the Japanese are defeated. For now, you will have to suffer for a few more years."

"Li Mingzhu, why did you think I couldn't save you back then? Never mind."

Zhao Xuan took off his glasses, tilted his head back, and looked at the clouds rolling across the sky, which seemed somewhat blurry.

At that moment, a gentle breeze blew by, ruffling Zhao Xuan's hair as if it were being softly brushed. Zhao Xuan took a deep breath, lowered his head, and smiled at the tombstone.

"I'm leaving now, I'll come see you again next time."

Back at the main gate, Zhao Xuan saw Dao Ya leaning against the car door. He smiled and walked over, simultaneously taking a Browning pistol from his back waistband.

"A gift for you, Tiger Girl's sidearm."

When Tiger Girl was captured, Zhao Xuan kept her service pistol. Originally, Zhao Xuan intended to return it to Tiger Girl, but unexpectedly...
Now is the perfect time; this gun should be given to Daoya as well.

Daoya took the pistol from the gunman; it looked like he took good care of himself regularly.

"You really leave it to me?"

"Yes, she agreed."

Dao Ya smiled, and the two got into the car and headed south of the city together.

At exactly twelve o'clock, a black Cadillac stopped in front of the gate of the International Cemetery.

Wearing a black trench coat, Dao Yan got out of the car carrying a bunch of yellow chrysanthemums. She paused for a few seconds in front of the gate before stepping inside.

Dao Yan, who was walking towards Zhao Xuan's parents' tombstone, stopped in her tracks when her gaze fell on the white chrysanthemums in front of the unmarked tombstone.

Who is she (he)?

Dao Yan had some doubts, but she knew that an unmarked tombstone in an international cemetery most likely meant that someone was buried there, either one of their own or a member of the underground Communist Party.

After pausing for a few seconds, Dao Yan bowed slightly to the nameless tombstone before walking to the next tomb in the row directly opposite it.

Seeing that the place seemed to have been cleaned, Dao Yan frowned slightly, but didn't think much of it, and bent down to place the chrysanthemums in front of the tombstone:
"Mom and Dad, this is the first time I've called him that out loud. You're not angry with me, are you? But if you have to blame someone, blame Ah Xuan. I've tried to win him over so many times, but he never responds."

"But don't worry, Ah Xuan now knows my identity and has helped me a lot. I believe that in the near future, Ah Xuan will definitely stand with me."

As she spoke, Dao Yan touched her lower abdomen, looking at the tombstone with some guilt, and continued:

“I know you’re also looking forward to the birth of your grandchildren, but Ah Xuan and I have tried our best, and there’s still no sign of it. I’ve secretly gone to the hospital for a checkup and secretly looked at Ah Xuan’s test results. We’re both fine. Maybe it’s just that the pressure is too much.”

"Don't worry, next time we come, Mom and Dad, you'll definitely be grandparents."

After saying that, Dao Yan smiled, took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the entire tombstone, then took a deep breath and laughed:

"Mom and Dad, I'm leaving now. I'll come to see you again next time. Next time, I'll come with Ah Xuan."

In Shanghai, on Zhoushan Road, Yi Xincheng arrived with his subordinates during his lunch break.

"Deputy Section Chief, I've already contacted the landlord. Shall we head over now?"

Yi Xincheng nodded. After settling the rental matter here, Yi Xincheng would go and meet with Kuang Minsheng from last night.

After getting out of the car, Yi Xincheng and Chen Yuliang instructed their subordinates to keep watch there, and then headed towards the rental house with only Chen Yuliang in their arms.

After looking around, Chen Yuliang went up and knocked on the door.

The door to the rented room creaked open, and a rather young-looking woman greeted them with a smile.
"Are you here to rent a house?"

Yi Xincheng frowned, while Chen Yuliang looked at the landlady with some curiosity:
"Are you the landlord?"

The woman grinned and said:

"Of course it's the landlord. I thought I wouldn't be able to rent it out, but I didn't expect to run into two unfortunate people, cough cough, I ran into two bosses."

Yi Xincheng's lips twitched slightly. Was this woman trying to say he was a sucker?

Chen Yuliang looked at the woman with a speechless expression. Although she was young, she gave Chen Yuliang a sense of danger.

The woman probably realized she had said the wrong thing, and after an awkward laugh, she invited the two of them into the house.

"Bosses, please come in and take a look. If you're satisfied, we'll sign the contract and rent the house to you." Chen Yuliang glanced back at Yi Xincheng, and seeing him nod, Chen Yuliang followed the landlord into the house.

Yi Xincheng stood at the door for a while, his eyes sweeping around. He glanced at the black sedan parked not far away. Yi Xincheng thought it was driven by the landlord, but he didn't expect that another road could be used to drive the car directly in. After that, it would be much more convenient to see Wang Weijia.

With a slightly satisfied expression, Yi Xincheng stepped into the house.

"Gentlemen, please have some tea."

From the outside, it looked like a two-and-a-half-story villa, but once inside, Yi Xincheng and Chen Yuliang realized why the landlord thought they were being taken advantage of.

The furniture is very old, and the walls look yellowish-brown. If people were to live there, it would definitely need to be renovated.

After just one glance, Yi Xincheng decided he didn't want to rent the house anymore.

The original plan was for Wang Weijia to move in directly and start a secret relationship with him, but now, with this house, things are probably not going to work out.

Chen Yuliang never expected that the house was all show and no substance.

No wonder it hasn't been rented out after hanging in the newspaper for so long.

Everything seemed perfectly reasonable.

"Hey bosses, what do you think? Have you found anyone you like?"

Yi Xincheng shook his head directly. How could he possibly like a house like this? It was just a waste of time.

"I'm sorry, we really don't like this house."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuliang returned to Yi Xincheng's side, and the two were already planning to leave.

The landlord sighed upon seeing this:

"It's okay, I know it's hard to rent out, I'll take you out."

As he spoke, the landlord followed the two men outside.

But just as he stepped out the door, a black Buick sedan rammed into Yi Xincheng.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yuliang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly reached out and grabbed Yi Xincheng's arm, trying to pull him back.

At that moment, the landlord, who was following behind, reached out and pushed Chen Yuliang out.

Bang!
With a loud crash, Yi Xincheng and Chen Yuliang were both hit and thrown into the air by the oncoming car.

The driver was Ye Luyan. After seeing the two people being hit and thrown into the air, Ye Luyan continued to press the accelerator, intending to run them over.

Chen Yuliang was speechless; how did he end up in this situation?

Yi Xincheng felt his head buzzing and his whole body ached. He wanted to stand up but couldn't, let alone dodge the car that was attacking again.

Fortunately, Chen Yuliang reacted quickly enough. Although the two were thrown away at the same time, Chen Yuliang managed to protect himself well.

Seeing the car heading towards them again, Chen Yuliang gritted his teeth, glanced at Yi Xincheng who was struggling on the ground trying to escape, rolled on the ground, grabbed Yi Xincheng with both hands and rolled away together, causing the car's first run-over to miss.

The commotion here naturally attracted the attention of Yi Xincheng's subordinates.

Gunshots rang out. Ye Luyan glanced coldly at Yi Xincheng and Chen Yuliang, who had already found cover, then quickly reversed to the entrance of the Western-style building, picked up the landlord, and drove away.

Having already boarded the bus, the landlord, sitting in the back, ripped off his disguised wig, wiped away his makeup, and revealed his true face.

This person was none other than Lin Jieru, who had discussed the action plan with Ye Luyan last night.

"Damn it!"

Lin Jieru clenched her fist and slammed it on the seat. Looking at Ye Luyan, whose face was icy as she drove quickly off down the street, Lin Jieru said angrily:

“I told you not to rush. Now it’s all right. Yi Xincheng probably won’t die. If he survives, it’ll be Kuang Minsheng and Wang Weijia who die.”

"I know."

Hearing this casual remark, Lin Jieru was stunned:

"You knew about this and still took action?"

Ye Luyan pursed her lips but did not answer.

She never expected that Yi Xincheng would bring his subordinates to do something so secretive.

If Yi Xincheng's subordinates are not discreet and Madam Yi finds out, Yi Xincheng will definitely be in deep trouble.

After all, Yi Xincheng's wife was personally appointed by Yingzuo in Nanjing. In the end, she was Yingzuo's person, someone Yingzuo planted next to Yi Xincheng.

Under these circumstances, Yi Xincheng still dared to bring his subordinates to rent a house, and Ye Luyan had to admit that she had made a mistake.

As Lin Jieru said, if Yi Xincheng survives, it will be Wang Weijia and Kuang Minsheng who die.

Ye Luyan wasn't worried at all.

After shaking off Yi Xincheng's men and stopping the car, Ye Luyan gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands and said coldly:

"Everything has been arranged. Once it's arranged, we have to take action. There's a chance of success or failure. If they fail, consider it good luck."

"There is a possibility of failure in everything we do. As long as we fill in all the loopholes before taking action, even if the action fails, there is a chance to make a comeback."

"Don't worry, I've already arranged for Wang Weijia and Kuang Minsheng to be sent away. After all, whether it's successful or not, if the 76th Division investigates, they'll be the first suspects."

Hearing this, Lin Jieru finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, seeing Ye Luyan take off her sunglasses and the scarf that covered most of her face, Lin Jieru smiled and shook her head.

It seems Jon had prepared for failure long ago, but it's a pity that he failed to kill Yi Xincheng despite having such a good opportunity.

Moreover, what Lin Jieru is most worried about now is how to explain this to Chen Guang.
She hadn't even had a chance to inform Morninglight that she was going on a mission with Jon.

With a deep sigh, Lin Jieru reached out her hand:
"The rent for the house is sixty silver dollars for three months."

Although the house was a bit dilapidated, it was still a small Western-style building, and sixty silver dollars for three months was considered cheap.

Ye Luyan, without changing her expression, retrieved her handbag from the passenger seat and took out two small yellow croakers:

"I'd appreciate your help with the extra amount."

At current prices, two small yellow croakers could probably be exchanged for eighty silver dollars. Lin Jieru took them, weighed them in her hand, and then smiled.

"I'll be going now. Contact me if you need anything. But next time, I'll have to report to my boss first. I wonder how my boss will criticize me when I get back this time!"

Hearing this, Ye Luyan hesitated for a moment, then looked at Lin Jieru, who had already opened the car door and was about to get out, and asked:
"Are you interested in going to the hospital?"

Before Ye Luyan could finish speaking, Lin Jieru fled as if she were escaping.

Are you kidding me? Going to the hospital to kill Yi Xincheng in this situation would be like walking into a trap.

Watching Lin Jieru close the car door and leave, Ye Luyan took off her trench coat, put on another brown trench coat prepared for the passenger seat, turned the car around, and headed straight for Cunji Hospital on Zhoushan Road.

Shanghai, Zhoushan Road, Cunji Hospital.

After parking her car, Ye Luyan took her prescription and entered the hospital.

At this time, Yi Xincheng had already been brought here for emergency treatment.

The doctor on duty at the Cunji Hospital pharmacy saw Ye Luyan standing at the window handing over a prescription, looked at it carefully, and then shook his head, saying:

"Miss, we don't have the medicine you need here. You should go to Gongji Hospital. Although your prescription is valid for all medications, only Gongji Hospital carries these kinds of drugs."

"Oh, really? I'm sorry."

Watching Ye Luyan take the prescription and turn to leave, the doctor on duty shook his head. He could tell at a glance that this woman had a serious illness.

Half an hour later, after initial treatment, it was determined that he had only broken three ribs and had some internal bleeding. Yi Xincheng, who was still unconscious, was then sent to a private room in the ward for observation and treatment.

Inside the ward, Chen Yuliang squinted, looking at the unconscious Yi Xincheng, seemingly lost in thought.

At that moment, a nurse opened the door and pushed a tool cart in.

"The patient needs intravenous nutrition."

Hearing this, Chen Yuliang stepped aside, but as the nurse approached the bed, he frowned and quickly stepped forward to stop her.

"Wait, you're the only nurse here. Where's the doctor? Take off your mask so I can see!"

The nurse turned to stare at Chen Yuliang, then slowly raised her hand to remove her mask.

Chen Yuliang watched her actions, his nerves slowly tightening, and then he quickly said in a very low voice:

"Stop! We can still leave now. He can't die; he's still useful!"

Upon hearing this, the nurse gave Chen Yuliang a deep look:

"It's just a nutrient solution; there's no need for a doctor to come."

Only after the nurse moved the other IV drip to a different position did Chen Yuliang slowly release his grip on her wrist.

After the nurse started the IV drip on Yi Xincheng, she turned and left, pushing a cart.

Chen Yuliang quickly stuffed a note into the nurse's pocket, and only breathed a sigh of relief after watching the nurse leave.

Chen Yuliang had carefully analyzed the situation today and concluded that the attackers could not have been from the Military Intelligence Bureau.

After all, such a good opportunity, if it were the Military Intelligence Bureau that made the move, not only would Yi Xin succeed, but he himself would not survive.

After all, Yi Xincheng was a traitor to the Military Intelligence Bureau. If the Military Intelligence Bureau wanted to take action against him, it would not be possible to send only two people.

Furthermore, he only learned about Yi Xincheng's plan to rent a room on Zhoushan Road today at the last minute. If the Military Intelligence Bureau were truly that resourceful, what would Yi Xincheng be? Ding Moqun would have been dead long ago.

Chen Yuliang, a close confidant, also suspected that Yi Xincheng's renting of the apartment was for the female student in room 402 of Baoshan Apartment.

Therefore, the assassination attempt on Yi Xin was a pre-planned scheme.

The rental apartments on Zhoushan Road were also where the assassins led Yi Xincheng.

If it were the Military Intelligence Bureau, they wouldn't go through such trouble. They could have ambushed Yi Xincheng on his way to find the female student, which would have had a better chance of success than today.

Of course, Chen Yuliang also had to admit that there was an element of gambling involved.

As time went by, and things dragged on long enough, Chen Yuliang had no choice but to contact his own people as soon as possible.

So when the nurse appeared, Chen Yuliang noticed her eyes. Her eyes looked exactly like those of someone who wanted to run him and Yi Xincheng over with a car.
